잠언 24장 11-12절

  너는 죽을 자리로 끌려가는 사람을 건져 주고, 살해될 사람을 돕는 데 인색하지 말아라. 너는 그것이 '내가 알 바 아니라'고 생각하며 살겠지만, 마음을 헤아리시는 주님께서 어찌 너의 마음을 모르시겠느냐? 너의 목숨을 지키시는 주님께서 다 알고 계시지 않겠느냐? 그분은 각 사람의 행실대로 갚으실 것이다. _새번역성경

死地にひかれゆく 者を 助け 出せ、滅びによろめきゆく 者を 救え。あなたが、われわれはこれを 知らなかったといっても、心をはかる 者はそれを 悟らないであろうか。あなたの 魂を 守る 者はそれを 知らないであろうか。彼はおのおのの 行いにより、人に 報いないであろうか。_口語訳

Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back. If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work? _NASB

Rescue the perishing; don’t hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,” will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know— Someone not impressed with weak excuses._The Message
